Lees, since we're talking about it, with the SKS it shouldn't really matter whether or not you're using corrosive ammo or not as most SKS's have chrome lined barrels. I think the one exception might be the Yugo models but even then I wouldn't sweat it too much as long as you run some solvent down the barrel every so often.

I read an interesting thing about the Afghani's the other day, who still supposedly have a large collection of SKS's at their disposal. To clean their barrels they'll simply dip their shoe laces in some motor oil and run them through the bore of their guns. Job done.

If you upload this to the Photo Gallery, the thumbnail will be in the left sidebar all over the site.

All that I have read indicates otherwise. So I would not be comfortable in just using oil and a shoe lace.

A bottle of windex or generic same, is the quick easy way.

That's a good idea, Stone. All hot Russian babes should be uploaded to the Photo Gallery.

Anyway, how bout a gun show in said gallery? Gimme a day or two.

Sounds good to me. Lees, what have you?

Red Ryder. As a youth, many a fowl creature lost its life to that gun.

Lees, you were correct in your statement about corrosive ammo. While most SKS's do have chrome lined barrels(with the Yugoslavian builds the exception) that helps protect against corrosion, it's still not a good idea to use corrosive ammo in your weapon. There's really no need to anyway as most mil-spec ammo these days is non-corrosive.

Can any one Tell Me why all of a sudden here in Florida there is Gun shows every were .

What do you mean by all of the sudden and where is everywhere?

You're probably just noticing them more.

Thinking about picking something up?
